âThe way that it happened, I was at my house, and Bill Deeley called and asked what size top hat I would like to have,â Dereume said Thursday. âI thought he was at Joeâs Drive-In and was picking up ice cream. I said, âThey only have one size.ââ

As it turns out, Deeley was asking Dereume if he wanted more than just a spring-time treat.
